Getting tired of only using 1 inch of rubber on the tires.
Thought this way would be better than doing low-rider hops till the spindles bent 2 degrees (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif) Now I'm in modified for autocross, but at least my tub is still virgin. Before it was about 3/4 degree, will find out what I can get soon. Attached image(s) |

As you say, if it works for you.....
Caster does something other than provide self-centering, however. It adds negative camber to the outside wheel/tire as the steering lock increases.....hopefully negating the positive camber increased by body roll/A arm going over center. Lack of caster will cause positive camber during these conditions.....thus the Mustang crack. Those guys go to offset (non concentric) bushings & all kinds of crap to get just 4 deg caster. Those of in the car parks like to use tires that like around -2 negative camber and try to maintain that thru all our various manauvers...at the outside tire....the one doing the work. |
